NIC CONFIGURATION IN SOLARIS 8

Hi
I am having Ultra 10 workstation of Sun. I installed solaris version 8(Sparc)
I checked to see nic configured or not by
ifconfig -a
But I found only loopback adapter
I want to configure NIC in Solaris 8 with Ultra10 workstation
How can I configure pl. guide me
Satish

The integrated network controller on the Ultra 5 and Ultra 10 systems
(same systemboard in different shaped chassis)
use the hme interface, not tpe.
O.P.
If this is a fresh install, you may have simply answered some of the initial networking questions incorrectly.
Network functionality on that box should "just work".
See the man pages for sys-unconfig.
It may be the quickest way to resolve the issue.

How did you install gcc, I don't think its working correctly.
There should be a copy of gcc installed with solaris 10 in /usr/sfw/bin.
I suggest you use that one instead..

Solaris 10 NIC Configuration Partly Works; Manual ifconfig changes lost.

I have installed 11/06 Solaris 10 on a Dell Optiplex GX260. It has a 3Com3C905FX NIC and the mother board NIC. I turned the mother board NIC on in the BIOS because the installation didn't find the 905FX NIC. When I run

Nowhere do I see what the contents of /etc/hostname.e1000g0 are. What is in that file?
And I really don't understand why e1000g0 would ever have a loopback address like 127.0.0.1. There's lots of reasons why it might not get any address, but a loopback is confusing.

Sendmail Configuration in Solaris 10

I have a script that I've been using in Solaris 9 to disable incoming mail. The script basically
- edits the "/etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail" file
- replaces MODE = "-bd" with MODE = " "
- sends command "/etc/init.d/sendmail stop" to stop sendmail
- sends command "/etc/init.d/sendmail start" to restart sendmail
Can anyone tell me how to do this in Solaris 10 since "/etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail" file no longer exists. I'm assuming it has something to do with SMF. I've found documentation on how to start and stop services (ie: sendmail) with SMF but can't seem to find how to make configuration changes.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The sendmail control file is in /lib/svc/method/smtp-sendmail (you may have to export them first using the svccfg tool)
Edit it and change the line MODE="-bd" to MODE=""
Edit the /etc/mail/submit.cf file.
Change the line D{MTAHost}[127.0.0.1] to D{MTAHost}[mail.yourdomain.com]
Restart Sendmail with: svcadm disable smtp; svcadm enable smtp

How to set semaphores configuration in Solaris 10 zones

Dear All:
I have a Sun SPARC T5120 with 16gb RAM. I have created three zones on that servers. Each zone I have configured 4gb RAM. I mean 3 zones will take 4*3=12gb RAM.
In the first zone Oracle Database 11g installed. SGA has 3gb
In the second zone Oracle Database 11g installed. SGA has 3gb.
In the third zone Oracle Application Server 10g installed.
In the parent - global zone I have set the semaphore settings 8gb in /etc/systems
My question is:
Oracle Database 11g is mandatory to take the semaphore settings?
First & Second zones Oracle Database will take the semaphore settings?
Is there any other way to give the semaphore settings in the same child zone?
If my question is not clear, pls revet back with your points. I am happy to reply.
Expert throw some light on this.
Thanks in advance,
Balaji Sridhar

Balaji,
This is not an application server related question. You may get an answer when you post your question in a Solaris forum.
Thanks,

[PROBLEM] Setting multiple NIC's under Solaris 8

Good day everybody,
I'm a little bit new to Solaris so there are some misunderstanding.
I have 2 NIC's eri0 and eri1, eri0 is in 192.168.0.0 subnet, and eri1 is in 192.168.1.0 subnet, eri0 has static ip, and eri1 is getting it from DHCP. Eri1 is behind soho router that just surve to transport packet from subnet 192.168.0.0 to eri1 on 8000 port so it's like this:
subnet (192.168.0.0) -> soho router(192.168.0.31:8000) -> eri1(192.168.1.101:8000)
as it's used to be in theory, but in practice i can't get any answer when i'm trying to get service throung router.
i'm have /etc/defaultroute that's 192.168.0.1, i've read somewhere that automatically after plumbing second interface solaris becoming a router, so maybe my problem is that packets from 192.168.0.0 subnet before router are transmitted to eri1 interface and retransmitted again to eri0 interface and eri0 interface is trying to do something that not suposed to, and so on so on.
Just need some clearness.

I am confused about your setup. could you place a netstat -nr output in here? I believe you have to setup extra routes to make it work.

Configuration snmp Solaris 9 and 10

I installed netsnmp in Solaris 9 x86, the configuration archive is very
vacant has few commentaries and almost no configuration, alguem can
give one to me help of as to use the command snmpwalk in the Solaris?
Another doubt is if I can substitute the archive of configuration of
the net-SNMP of the solaris for one of linux? the net-SNMP in linux
allows to use an addressing of arvore MIB pra execution of scripts, in
the solaris is possible?

In snmpd.conf file add these entries.
rocommunity public
syslocation "System administrators office"
syscontact "System administrator"
sysservices 72
And then start snmpd .Then to do a snmpwalk juz use
~#snmpwalk -c public -v 1 localhost
Assuming that you have compile and configure with SNMP v1 support

Unable to regenerate /dev/rmt/0 drivers with cfgadm -c configure on Solaris 10 update 11 (1/13). How does one do this for SAS HBA StorageTek Autoloader?

How does one regenerate the /dev/rmt/0 when cfgadm -c configure <device> will not rebuild it? Have attempted reboot -- -r, with modifing /kernel/drv/st.conf as well as /kernel/drv/sgen.conf. Running on a SPARC T4-1 Solaris 10 updat3 11, (1/13).

This has been resolved. Getting the /etc/driver_aliases set correctly: # update_drv -d -i st; update_drv -d -i sgen; add_drv -m '* 0600 root sys' -i '"scsiclass,01" "scsiclass,08" wa' worked. Making sure the st and sgen entries are in /etc/name_to_major were needed. For the Simpana/CommVault WA drivers, in opt/simpana/WA/wa.conf with the name="wa" parent="fp" target=16 lun=0 fc-port-wwn="device's World Wide Number> added for each lun 0 to 7. Then the touch /reconfigure; reboot worked. First the c1::rmt/0 tape and c1::scsi/changer/<wwn> med-changer were mapped. After modifying the minor_perm ('* 0600 root sys') and name_to_major entries, the WA CommValt entries , WA drivers showed up in cfgadm -al as c1::wa0 tape and c1::wa1 med-changer, only recognizable from CommVault. Also had to update the SAS-2 HBA StoregTek Autoloader driver with patch 145648-05. Solaris 10 update 11 (1/13) comes with 145648-03. In our particular case, we found cfgadm -al mapped SAS-2 HBA to c1 using the single mini-sas 6gb connector cable, where it mapped to c7 with the four tail connector.

NIC problems on Solaris 10 X86

This has probably been asked/answered before but I couldn't locate it. My X86 install finally went through but I can't see weither (of 2) NIC cards, one is a D-link DFE-530 TX + and I have added the driver_alias commands but still can't see anything but localhost from ifconfig -a, any help would be appreciated...been up for 24 hours now.

There have been at least two different cards from Dlink, with similar model names.
There is the discontinued DFE-530TX and there is a current DFE-530TX+ model.
You may need to take the card out and confirm the actual model.
While you do that, examine the card and find its actual ethernet chipset.
If I recall corectly, the older card uses the DEC21140 family chip, which works natively in Solaris(x86) 7, 8, 9, and 10.
Dlink's website suggests the TX+ card uses the Realtek RTL8139 chipset,
and Dlink has a Unix driver package available for download for that 'plus' card,
although it is bundled inside their Windows-formatted self-extracting driver file for some ungodly reason.
So ... if you have the older card, it should just work.
And ... If you have the newer card, then you may as well get the drivers straight from RealTek.

Windows System Configuration in Solaris 8 x86

Hi
I am doing the Solaris 8 Web Jumpstart Installation wherein it configures for Display. While configuring the display whatever resolution I mention it will not show the image and eventually it will not configure the Windows System and hence the Open windows will not be displayed. The screen goes blank when Open Windows starts and I am forced to install the Solaris software through command prompt.
The hardware description :
PC : HP Brio
Pentium III MMX 650MHz.
Video Adaptor : Matrox G200 8MB.
Please help me in this regard since I checked the Hardware Compatibility List in which I meet the hardware requirements.
Thanks

I can't help you either. But I have the same problems. Running a Matrox MGA G200 with Panel Link (Digital Flat Panel). Doesn't work with Linux, doesn't work with Solaris 8. I am configuring over and over. But after continuing with F2 in kdmconfig monitor goes into power save. That's it. Any suggestions from forum members ?
Thanx.

resulting in subsequent add_drv, update_drv, and rem_drv commands to fail. This issue is
mostly visible when creating a custom install image. This lock file has been bundled in the
miniroot so any attempts to add a package will fail. The following error message is displayed:

Workaround: If the /tmp/AdDrEm.lck file exists, manually remove it before attempting a
pkgadd or _drv commands.

How to install NIC driver on Solaris 10?

I see the driver for my NIC, the D-Link DFE-530TX+ at this site
http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
It talked about this NIC on choice #4, but how do I go about installing the driver rf-1.1.0.tar.gz on Solaris 10 x86 to make this NIC work? Thanks.

if it was choice number 4, then choose it.
other wise check out D-link site for unix/linux advice. maybe, I'm just a newbie myself.
